Discover Your Perfect Outdoor Getaway at This Santa Cruz Retreat

Embrace the beauty of nature and outdoor adventure at our charming one-bedroom, one-bathroom vacation rental in the heart of Santa Cruz. Just a minute’s walk from Twin Lakes Beach and the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor, this inviting retreat is the perfect base for exploring the great outdoors, with easy access to paddleboarding, kayaking, and harbor adventures.

Start your mornings with a peaceful walk along Twin Lakes Beach, or grab a paddleboard or kayak and launch directly from the harbor for a day of fun on the water. Rent a kayak or paddleboard nearby and set out to explore the scenic coastline, or navigate the harbor’s calm waters for a peaceful and exciting day in nature. Afterward, relax and enjoy the vibrant harbor views as you unwind at one of the nearby seaside cafes.

For even more adventure, explore the area’s picturesque trails and hidden spots, or head to the harbor to watch the boats and wildlife while soaking in the fresh air. In the evening, stroll to the Crow's Nest for a casual meal or enjoy the beautiful outdoor atmosphere of nearby eateries.

If you prefer a more leisurely pace, spend some time in your private backyard, surrounded by nature, or take a trip to Well Within Spa for a rejuvenating soak or massage. Just a short drive away, you’ll find the scenic Shadowbrook Restaurant, perfect for an outdoor dinner after a day of exploration.

This rental is designed for those who love the outdoors—whether you're into water sports, exploring the harbor, or simply taking in the beauty of Santa Cruz's natural surroundings, this is the place for you.

Additional Pet-fee apply. $35/day/ per pet
